One thing I have never been really sure of (only one ?) is:
Are the "enemy" and the horrors of ED the same ? Are the enemy
horrors or just some other extra dimensional alien intent on killing.
I always assumed that they where somewhat the same but for some
reason this question triggered some wondering. Anybody have a good
answer to that ?
